Republican lawmakers Cory Mills and Eli Crane recently visited Butler, Pennsylvania to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Mills, an Army combat veteran, and Crane, a Navy SEAL sniper veteran, climbed onto the rooftop where the shooter fired at Trump. The incident occurred during a rally on July 13, resulting in injuries to Trump, the death of a firefighter, and injuries to two bystanders.
The lawmakers, accompanied by conservative commentator Benjamin “Benny” Johnson, filmed a podcast episode to uncover the truth behind the assassination attempt. They explored the site where the shooting took place, examining the vantage point from which the sniper took the shot. Crane demonstrated how easy it was to access the rooftop and highlighted the lack of security measures in place to prevent such an attack.
Their visit follows a previous tour by a group of bipartisan lawmakers and raises questions about the security protocols in place during Trump’s rally. The Secret Service director at the time, Kimberly Cheatle, faced criticism for the security failures that allowed the shooter to target Trump. Despite initially refusing to resign, Cheatle eventually stepped down following pressure from Congress.
The investigation into the attempted assassination continues, with lawmakers like Mills and Crane working to uncover the truth behind the attack. The incident has raised concerns about the security measures in place at political events and the need for enhanced protection for public figures.
As the investigation unfolds, it is crucial to address the lapses in security that allowed such an attack to occur. Lawmakers and security experts must work together to implement stricter protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. The safety of political figures and the general public should be a top priority, and thorough investigations are necessary to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent future attacks.
